Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain an addendum opinion from a VR&E VRC addressing why only employment services, and not additional education, is necessary for the Veteran to overcome his serious employment handicap (SEH).
The deciding factor: The September 2022 VR&E evaluation was inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's contention that he needed a PhD to obtain a job compatible with his service-connected disabilities.
